Campbeltown Loch - Andy Stewart

Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey

Campbeltown Loch, och-aye

Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey

I would drink you dry

Now Campbeltown Loch is a beautiful place

But the price of the whiskey is grim

How nice it would be if the whiskey was free

And the Loch was filled up to the brim

Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey

Campbeltown Loch, och-aye

Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey

I would drink you dry

I’d buy a yacht with the money I’ve got

And I’d anchor it out in the bay

If I wanted a sip, I’d go in for a dip

I’d be swimmin' by night and by day

Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey

Campbeltown Loch, och-aye

Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey

I would drink you dry

We’d have a gathering of the clans

They’d come from near and far

I can see them grin as they’re wading in

And shouting, «Slainte mhor»

Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey

Campbeltown Loch, och-aye

Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey

I would drink you dry

But what if the boat should overturn

And drowned in the Loch was I?

You’d hear me shout, you’d hear me call out

«What a wonderful way to die»

Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey

Campbeltown Loch, och-aye

Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey

I would drink you dry

But what’s this I see, ochone for me

It’s a vision to make your blood freeze

It’s the police afloat in a dirty big boat

And they’re shouting, «Time, gentlemen, please»

Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey

Campbeltown Loch, och-aye

Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey

I would drink you dry
